Interesting. SHOCK LABYRINTH 3D was one of the few Bluray titles released in Asia that uses the side by side squeezeed 3DTV format. So while it not a true "3D Bluray" per the 3D Blu specs, the Asian version is still compatible with all of the recent 3DTVs simply by using the (SBS) Side by Side viewing mode. There's a loss of vertical resolution with SBS, but aside from that, it looks great.
